NATCHEZ TRACE (Wills, '69) M. Each $10.00 



This rich, velvety red-brown comes from Jesse Wills, of Nashville, 

 Tennessee, a past President of The American Iris Society. He has 

 been breeding a red line of Iris for many years and has several excel- 

 lent previous introductions in tones of red and rose. This one has 

 rose-red standards, conical in form and closed at the top; falls of rich 

 crimson-brown velvet with smooth, unmarked hafts adorned with 

 a heavy bronze-orange beard. Flowers are very large, the stalks well 

 branched and it blooms midseason to late. 34 to 36 inches. .See below. 



NATIVE CHIEF (Gibson, '66) ML. 34" Each $3.00 



Yellowish tan or "buckskin" colored standards, very ruffled and full, 

 and white falls bordered with the same soft tan of the standards over 

 ivory white. This is one of Gibson's very largest new things and is 

 undoubtedly one of his best in every way. Well spaced. Shown on 

 page 46. 



NEWPORT (Schreiner, '63) EM. 38" Each $2.50 



The bluest of blue plicatas, the snowy ground edged a delightful 

 cerulean blue. It is brighter than Rococo and the colors are in sharper 

 contrast. Tall, large and well branched. Early. HM AIS, 1966. 



NIGHTSIDE (Schreiner, '67) M. 38" Each $10.00 



Another of those very rich, sultry, silk-sheened blue-black gems from 

 this well known source of outstanding and very popular black Iris. 

 Not actually black, of course, but nearly so, including the beard. 

 Perfect on all accounts. HM AIS, 1968. See page 43. 



NIGHT SONG (Luihn, '65) ML. 38" Each $5.00 



A new sultry black from Dark Fury and Black Taffeta. Heavily ruffled 

 and velvety, the beard matching the deluxe richness of the standards 

 and falls. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1966. 



NOB HILL (Gaulfer, '66) ML. 40" Each $3.50 



A soft, sort of bamboo yellow with slight amber overlay on the falls. 

 Hafts are slightly deeper in tone and the beard is still deeper yellow. 

 Huge in size and the great blooms are perfectly formed. HM AIS, 1967. 



NORMANDIE (Gaulter, '68) ML. 38" Each $6.00 



Light lavender-lilac, shading to near white in the center of the falls. 

 The contrasting yellow to tangerine beard enlivens the soft, pastel 

 tone of the big, broad petaled blossoms, the falls of which almost 

 touch each other. Here is beauty, polish and grace in an Iris, the 

 color of which may not seem so exciting in print . . . but it is really 

 super! Shown on page 48. 



OLYMPIC TORCH (Schreiner, '58) L. 40" Each $2.00 



This grand coppery yellow-bronze is our choice of all the Schreiner 

 introductions. It has great size, moderate ruffling, lovely even coloring, 

 and perfect height and branching. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. Illus- 

 trated on page 34. 



ONE DESIRE (Shoop, '60) EM. 34" Each $3.50 



Nearly all pink Iris carry a certain amount of peach, salmon or 

 apricot blended together. Here is one which is devoid of these in- 

 fluences and in some quarters is regarded as the nearest approach 

 to real pink. Color is rich and deep with beard in harmony. HM AIS, 

 1960; AM, 1963. 



OPENING NIGHT (Gibson, '70) M. 38" 



Withdrawn to increase stock. 



ORANGE BANNER (Waters, '55) M. Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 Natchez Trace $1 



Handsome and brilliant orange-yellow of very large size. The heavy 

 beard is slightly deeper in shade than the rest of the flower. Petals 

 are broad and well formed. 34 inches. HM AIS, 1955. 



ORANGE CHARIOT (Fay, '64) M. 34" Each $3.50 



Light orange, both standards and falls a uniform shade. Blossoms are 

 large, with wide petals, semi-flaring and thick in texture. The in- 

 tense, tangerine-coral beard adds brilliance and appeal to the thrilling 

 and captivating color. 



ORANGE JADE (Wise, '63) M. 36" Each $1.50 



A deep golden orange self, near to true orange, including the beard. 

 The form is excellent and the intense color should make it a striking 

 clump in the garden. HM AIS, 1964. 



ORANGE PARADE (Hamblen, '61) EM. 36" Each $3.50 



A vivid and moderately laced and ruffled orange bi-tone, between 

 Marigold and Spanish orange. A startling and lich orange effect. 

 Wide, flaring falls and closed standards. Fairly early. HM AIS, 1962; 

 AM, 1964. Shown on page 45.
